How do you approach this

[Devlin]

Just wondering how any of you approach a signet style ring that has a design cut in on the top surface and hollowed out on the inside.
The problem I run into is the resin gets trapped and gives an undesired surface. I have even tried cutting a drain hole when possible.
Not sure if there is a better way other than printing with a machine that does not require supports.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Maybe post a picture?

Something like this without the hole under the diamond, Even at 90 degrees some resin can be trapped on the inside hollow area.
I think I would add a drain hole to this one, however if it had designs on the side that would not work.
I end up hand carving the printed resin model out the on underside to fix the problem.

Thank you,
Michael

Slightly tilting the ring would get rid of the horizontal overhang underneath and require less supports in that area.
